Podcasts about cop26 climate summit

Back again from both the chaos and peace of finishing our MSc programmes and adjusting to the next chapter of becoming LSE alum, the Can You Hear Us team is back to begin an ongoing series of interviews and discussions surrounding activism. In light of the commitments and global discussions marking the COP26 Climate Summit in late 2021, typhoon Rai in the Philippines and the Colorado wildfires, amongst others, the first episode of the new season focuses on environmental activism, where we interview Dipa Patel, LSE international development department Communications and Events Manager by day, London National Park Ranger by night, and Kavita Purohit,  an environmental engineer- turned- doughnut economics researcher. Dipa and Kavita bring personal insights from community-based and industry perspectives on sustainability, under representation within environmental justice, and the importance of diversity and collaboration in environmentalist efforts. 

This is the second of two podcasts where we are looking at the outcomes of the COP26 Climate Summit held in Glasgow, and asking what does this mean now for policy and action in the UK. With us to discuss that is Professor Sir Charles Godfray, Director of the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford.

In this episode, Matt Schnurr joins John Cook, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager and Investor Engagement, Team Co-Lead Mackenzie Greenchip Team, to debrief the COP26 climate summit. They also discuss industries like clean-up technologies and industrials, and the opportunities in resources.

This is the first of two podcasts where we are looking at the outcomes of the COP26 Climate Summit held in Glasgow, and asking what does this mean now for policy and action in the UK. With me to discuss that is Baroness Young of Old Scone, Barbara Young, a member of the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Select Committee and with a long career working in environmental organisations.

Quick Climate Links was meant to be a thing of the past by now as the plan was to keep it alive during COP26 in Glasgow, but stories about the climate continue to populate the media, in all its forms, and so it seems appropriate to keep it alive for the moment. Setting up an interview with one of the co-authors of Climate Code Red, Philip Sutton, and discuss his new project, "Climate Rescue", was an interesting moment as it almost became "the interview" and those few seconds are included in this episode.

Most observers declared the recent climate summit a failure, as world leaders largely delayed action on climate change. Still there was some progress so we discuss those here plus proactive ways we can all stay engaged with this debate over the planet's future atmosphere, with two guests.  Bill McKibben is a noted activist, author, and founder of 350.org as well as the newly created Third Act initiative, and shares his response to the failures of COP26, why he was inspired by the activism he saw at the COP, and how he sees climate activism evolving to counter the outsized influence of the industries that rely on burning fossil fuels and clearing the world's forests for profit. And Trebbe Johnson, author of Radical Joy for Hard Times: Finding Meaning and Making Beauty In Earth's Broken Places and founder of an organization with the same name, Radical Joy for Hard Times, tells us about ecological grief, how it can affect people concerned about the future of our planet, and how to deal with that grief and stay committed to working towards a better future for all life on Earth.

Climate talks in Glasgow ended with a specific call to "phase down", instead of "phase out" coal and fossil fuel subsidies after pressure from India and China.

We have been warned that unless we reduce carbon emissions, our world will cease to exist. President Biden has pledged to reduce such emissions here in the U.S. by 50- of 2005 levels by 2030 and to get to zero emissions by 2050. The radical steps being taken will completely upend civilization as we know it.--The U.N. Conference of the Parties -COP26- has just come to a conclusion in Glasgow, Scotland. Joining Jim to discuss issues related to the conference was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. Alex has authored or co-authored several books such as Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He's founder of Liberty Sentinel.--The program began with discussion concerning President Biden's nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Saule Omarova is a Cornell Law School Professor. She wrote a thesis titled, -Karl Marx's Economic Analysis and the Theory of Revolution- while studying at Moscow State University. She's advocated for the idea of not allowing people to have private bank accounts.

COP26, the UN's annual climate summit in Glasgow, was touted by many as the “last best chance” for the world to come together and make a plan to stave off the worst of climate change. Today, Time magazine senior correspondent Justin Worland delves into what the summit did and didn't achieve.

Welcome to another Superhero Smorgasbord episode! In light of the UN Climate Change Conference that is coming to an end this week—and also the horrifying impact of climate change itself—we figured we'd ask ourselves who we would want to send to COP26. Naturally, Captain Planet was one of our choices, but there were some other interesting ones thrown in there too. Not only did we talk about how they would tackle climate change (and this particular conference), but we also happened to go off on a couple tangents about Facebook and international law. You're gonna love it. SHOW NOTES: https://bit.ly/3fFdEG4 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

COP26 Climate Summit… have you heard this set of words left and right for the past few weeks? There's a good reason why. This is an incredibly important moment in time as the climate continues to suffer from global greenhouse emissions that are too high and a lack of forests to process them. COP26 is wrapping up in Glasgow now, but number 26 is just this year's conference. This climate summit happens every year, and a lot of pressure exists right now to not only have it happen annually but to require countries to update their pledges yearly as well. I have outlined what the conference is, some history to it, new announcements that were made this year, why activists are upset, and what we can do to take some power into our own hands. SIMPLE IDEA: Spark conversation about the Summit in a non-confrontational way. If you learn something new today, or you choose an idea from the list at the end to try, share that with a friend and see if you can spark some conversation about what's happening. Send that little ripple into the world. ;-) SHOW NOTES: https://ForAnimalsForEarth.com/podcast/64

On this episode, we speak to Jonathon Porritt, author of ‘Hope in Hell: A Decade to Confront the Climate Emergency'. He discusses whether people can expect success or failure in an agreement being reached at COP26 that could turn the tide against climate change. He tackles fossil-fuel companies for lying about net zero targets, and addresses Boris Johnson's record on climate change, along with his recent comments rubbishing plastic recycling. Porritt also talks about the absence of Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping from COP26, and much more. Finally, we speak to Changhua Wu, executive director of the Professional Association for China's Environment. She discusses the COP15 biodiversity conference and close cooperation between the UK and China on two issues.

She asks how seriously US envoy John Kerry is taken, why no country is doing enough to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, and much more.

How can cities strengthen their business cases for net zero investment? And if their plans are brought together and aligned in a new and creative ways, could they generate greater scale, volume and predictability in ways that might make them more attractive to investors? To answer these and other questions, the Connected Places Catapult has teamed up with the UK's Core Cities and London Councils to create the UK Cities Climate Investment Commission. The aim is to the leverage the combined scale and clout of the UK's cities to mobilise investment into low and net-zero carbon projects across all of the UK's largest cities, not just individual ones. As an initial step we have commissioned research to assess and analyse the low carbon investment that cities need, and the associated investment cases. The findings of the report will be launched at the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow and will look at the following sectors; commercial and industrial property, waste and electricity generation, and transport. In this episode we take a look at transport, which contributes almost a quarter (22%) of the UK's green house gas emissions. There are of course different modes of transport – cars, buses, lorries, trains – and they each contribute emissions in different ways too. In a UK context you also have to bear in mind that local authorities have limited impact on most of those modes, and zero impact on some. So the Commission has been focussing on where councils can have the most impact through policy and investment: Reducing the need to travel. Increasing the use of public transport Increasing the uptake of active travel - walking, cycling Converting from fossil fuelled to electrified forms of transport Prof. Greg Clark, who chairs the Commission, speaks to Cllr Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council about what this looks like from the perspective of one of the UK's core cities. We also meet Andrea Fernandez, Managing Director of C40 Cities Climate Leadership and specialist in climate finance in cities, as well as Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Iduna, a company playing a leading role in Greater Manchester's electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

We're running a series of dialogues with Mayors from around the world in the lead up to the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow later this year. The series was launched this week at the World Cities Summit 2021, which was hosted by our partner, the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and held virtually for the first time. Over the coming months the Catapult will be convening a series of dialogues with city Mayors from around the world about the road to a resilient and green recovery. Each dialogue will be facilitated by Prof Greg Clark, the Chair of the Connected Places Catapult. The effects of the COVID pandemic are far from over but city leaders have already begun planning for the recovery. And with the grand urban challenges of climate change, population growth and quality of life still very much in the in-tray, that recovery needs to be both resilient and green. In the first conversation in the series, we begin with a city that is often lauded as one of the most liveable in the world: Melbourne, one of Australia's urban jewels known for its parks, beaches, thriving cultural life and innovative economy. But Melbourne is also a city that has had to adapt, pivot and embrace change throughout its history, and no more than during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode we meet the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Sally Capp to hear how the City of Melbourne has actually used the disruption of lockdown to fast track it's environmental sustainability programme. We ask how Melbourne's world-renown innovators and entrepreneurs are shaping the city's embrace of a digitised future. How is the city's innovation economy and its iconic global port helping to make Melbourne a more connected place in which to do business? And how is the Lord Mayor taking Melburnians with her on the road to a greener and more resilient future? Music on this episode is by Blue Dot Sessions and Phill Ward Music (www.phillward.com) Show notes: You can learn more here about what the City of Melbourne is doing on climate action and a list of climate change impacts on the city region, as well as the city's Climate Change Mitigation Strategy.
